Today we published the latest installment of our quarterly MOST IMPORTANT CHARTS IN THE WORLD slidedeck, which contained contributions from some of the leading lights of the finance world — economists, analysts, investors, and others.

One contributor is famed short-seller Jim Chanos, who has been talking lately about the Sotheby's Indicator — that is, that the famous auction house tends to peak when big bubbles peak.

The indicator is almost too perfect. And you have to love the quote from the person at the auction from the obviously out-of-their-depth auction attendant who was freaked out by how intense the bidding was.
